CFCF
In Oranmore in the County Galway,
AmCFG
One pleasant evening in the month of May,
CFCF
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
AmGCG
Her beauty fairly took my breath away
[Verse 2]
CFCF
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
AmCFG
'Till her father's cottage came into view
CFCF
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father,
AmGCG
And play to please him " The Foggy Dew "
[Chorus]
CFCF
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
AmCFG
No paint or powder, no, none at all
CFCF
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
AmGCG
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
[Verse 3]
CFCF
I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley",
AmCFG
" Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew",
CFCF
She sang each note like an Irish linnet
AmGCG
While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue
[Chorus]
CFCF
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
AmCFG
No paint or powder, no, none at all
CFCF
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
AmGCG
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
INSTUMENTAL VERSE
[Verse 4]
CFCF
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
AmCFG
When I hit the road for old Donegal
CFCF
She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and kissed me
AmCFG
And my heart remains with the Galway shawl
[Chorus]
CFCF
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
AmCFG
No paint or powder, no, none at all
CFCF
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
AmCFG
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
[Chorus]
CFCF
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
AmCFG
No paint or powder, no, none at all
CFCF
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
AmGCG
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
AmGCG
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
